Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Potty Trending. That one courtesy of Ty Torres on the Discord.
Potty Trending? No, thank you.
Potty Letting Be Free? Potty Intuiting?
That's what we're talking about over here. Let the child.
Take a dump and buy some diapers. You know, that's really the big name of the game. Or also just let.
The child, let the child, let the child lead you to the diaper aisle.
I think they should have, uh, this is in reference to a story from yesterday's or this morning's episode about, uh, how potty training, how potty training used to be a thing you did in like before 18 months. And then Pampers was like, but we have all of these fun things. diapers that we can sell in bigger sizes and make money.
And so they just, like, got a guy on board to create this new version of potty training where it's like, you shouldn't force it. Don't force it, guys. Like, three, four, they can still be shit in their pants.
You know what they're gonna like? Pampers. Size six. They're gonna love those. Get them in a pair of those.
Like, I think they should have Pampers... that.
With like because you know they have like uh sesame street themed and stuff like that i think it should go up to like wu-tang clan themed like.
It should go all the way roman empire.
Napoleon yeah dinosaur all the way i.
Got my bird watching.
Sourdough pampers whatever midlife hobby you have.
Uh, my name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles Gray.
Yeah.
Yeah. Um, that does just remind me of my ODB Pampers.
Yeah, there you go.
Um, Roman Sandal Pampers. Uh, Brian, Brian, the editor in the house.
Uh, this is the episode where we tell you what is trending on this Wednesday, October 14th. As the midterms are looming, that's what they're doing right about now, I think.
They're looming.
We're in the looming stage. It's a looming onion. A looming onion.
Inflation is getting not better. It's getting worse. Yeah.
I think it's worse for it.
I like they use the word hot. They're like, inflation heated up.
He's heating up.
No. He's on fire. Our stress is going higher. I think that's the way to talk about it.
But yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it 3.7% or something?
Yeah, it was higher than expected, Miles.
Well, than expected.
You say expected this. Yes, of course, of course, yeah.
They should just raise their expectations a little bit.
Anyways, and people are wondering, is Donald Trump going to change tack? Is he going to come up with a new angle? And he may have just done that. Late last night, he was retweeting videos of himself fighting tigers or i don't know i don't know if these were actually retweets these might might have been like original creations he did retweet the video of there there was the tragedy where the person having a mental health crisis in the uk went into a tiger enclosure was killed uh he retweeted that and was like hey don't mess with nature djt ha ha ha like just just like private chat like 80 people.
In their 80s in the private chat.
This guy isn't, this guy isn't a, like, I think it's shocking when you're like, the president would never, could never do something like that.
This guy is not a fucking president.
He's not a president.
You know what I mean?
And I don't even mean that to say like, so we need to accept that, but I think we really need to sort of wrap our heads around that this kind of leadership, you should not be making the same kinds of expectations when you thought.
There was like a traditional president.
Yeah.
This is an out of their mind, old man at like in the emergence of the AI slop era. Uh, and he's, that's all he's doing. He's just fucking putting himself into national shit and be like.
A lot of, a lot of Bullworth debates happening.
Like, is this guy trying to lose or is he mentally unwell? And it's like, no, this is his fastball. This is what his fastball looks like at this point. This is as good as he's got. Yeah.
No, 100%. He's not doing anything, but at this point, nothing is by design. Everything is impulsive. Everything is reactionary. It's just that sometimes the moves end up having an effect that's beneficial to him. And then I'd say nine times out of 10, he's posting this kind of shit.
Where everyone's like, this is fucking disgusting.
This fucking person.
Away from us.
I gotta say, man, also famous people. We like to imagine they got superpowers and it feels like they're all dumb.
They're all dumb.
They're all dumb and rich. Yeah.
Um, anyways, uh, other midterm news, somebody is getting the tele freak outs.
Oh, I mean, look, Ken Paxton, he's doing James Tallarico a giant favor by being one of the creepiest, unlikable candidates, um, in GOP Senate history, I think in Texas, probably.
Yeah.
Um, there, uh, a video just released about how he was with like a literal fugitive from American law in Dubai, like yucking it up on New Year's.
Eve, like last year. And they're like, this guy's a fucking scumbag. I don't know. Do we need more evidence? The race is tight, though.
The polls have Paxton slightly behind while others have them tied. But even the lead is within the margin of error. So I think, you know, it's really going to ultimately come down to turnout. But again, the margins are so thin. And it must be clear to the White House because J.D. Vance has begun... just doing his own projections, I guess.
I was going to say he's attacking Tallarico, but now I'm like, I think he's just projecting is what is actually going on because he wants to try and make Tallarico out to be some kind of, you know.
Either a pedophile or gay person.
And these last two comments that he made on Tuesday, just doubling down on all kinds of weird shit. So here's Vance saying that because Tallarico is sympathetic towards trans people, I wouldn't want to see his search history because he's He might be.
You know... Yeah.
So here's J.D.
Vance casting aspersions on James Tallarico's potential search history. I don't even know where he's going with this. You said that you wouldn't want to see Tallarico's search history.
What do you mean by that?
Well, he's just a guy who shows a weird focus on transgender kids and drag queens.
I think he.
Said something to the effect of an 11-year-old in drag was.
A great side or a very beautiful thing. He says a lot of weird stuff.
A great side?
People who say stuff like that tend to have some pretty unusual search histories. Maybe he doesn't. Just guessing.
Wait, people who have a weird obsession with trans people and drag queens and children's sexuality, that's... That's so interesting. That's so interesting. Like, as your therapist, J.D. Vance, that's so interesting that you say that.
Yeah.
Because that is you.
Yeah.
That's... Hmm.
Odd.
Yeah, if you, like, are interested in the humanity of other people, you're probably some kind of sex criminal, I think, is kind of the line I'm drawing here.
Because it's also, I mean... J.D.
Vance, I don't know how new he is to Catholicism, but I think in terms of, like, the most direct line from occupation to likelihood of being a sex predator is actually priest. Right. So, you know, I feel like every fucking week I read about some pastor or some priest who's getting done for fucking child porn or some other weird shit.
Yeah, man.
But again, go on about how people who, again, are supporting the fucking members of their community, you're trying to contort that into something like, this guy's a pervert. sure dickhead um so if that wasn't enough of a knockout blow.
God damn but somebody needs to check his search history like that that is so somebody telling on themselves being like i mean he seems to have a weird obsession with the things that i clearly have a weird obsession with i'd hate to see his search history because i bet he like doesn't know how to clear the caches on his search history.
Yeah Also, he's such a noob at, like, looking at porn, he Googles shit. Yeah.
He's like, ah, maybe I can find on Google so I can get off on shit.
How are journalists, like, if we, you know, the BBC was talking about how we need young Gen Z, we need to appeal to young Gen Z. Like, there should be a Gen Z person there just being like, can I check your search history? Yeah.
Let's do that real quick.
Bro, that was weird.
Why don't you tell us something from your search history? That was weird as fuck.
Such a weird thing that you just brought up. Yeah.
It seems, I don't know.
I would love to check that out from you, my guy.
What kind of stuff do you look at? You look at porn, dude?
Yeah. You into that?
Probably, right?
Hey, man, a lot of people do.
I'd just be fascinated.
I saw that. It's like that.
Remember that scene in The Simpsons where Moe was being interrogated? I think it was when the Who Shot Mr. Burns episode. And he's like, when he was on the lie detector and he's like, I got to get out of here because I got a date later. He's like, I got a hot date tonight. And the lie detector goes off.
He's like, ah, he's like, I mean, a date. I mean, dinner with a friend. Dinner alone.
All right.
All right.
I'm going to go home and I'm going to ogle the girls in the Victoria's Secret catalog.
Sears catalog.
That's what jd you are ogling the furniture in the sears catalog probably um so anyway then he then later just that same day goes on to make another fucking comment about like being a like platonically being like loving his bro.
But he's not. This is just so stupid fucking nonsense. But here's J.D. Vance that same day. Check this out. Now, before we get started, I love you, too, sir. And it's totally platonic way to be clear. To be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Tallarico. But I gotta....
Wow. Good stuff. It's good stuff. I'm the vice president, not James Tallarico.
Hey, I love you too, man. In a platonic way.
That's good stuff, man. Also, don't look up pictures of me in drag when I was younger either.
Those are going around.
That was a Halloween bit. Nothing should be gleaned from that at all. So, great projection from J.D.
Vance.
And then also in Tallarico News, one of those mouth breathers that was retweeting and really pushing on the gotcha story with Tallarico and the mental institution ruse.
He's clearly been.
Touched by a legal threat because he came out and made a big apology. There's a few other people who were involved who were doing various things like saying, no comment, I don't want to get into legal hot water.
This guy came out.
Carmine Sabia said, I apologize for sharing the false report about James Tallarico receiving mental health treatment. I relied on the reporting available then, but I got it wrong and I retracted.
I support Ken Paxton, but the truth matters more than winning on a lie.
And then posted a huge graphic that says, correction, the claim that James Tallarico received treatment at an Ohio mental health facility was false. The Lindner Center of Hope says he has never received treatment there. His documented public appearances in Texas also contradict the alleged timeline.
The earlier claim is retracted. Getting the facts right matters. Carmine Sabia.
I mean, that feels like he had his hand behind his back. It's like, what else? No, what else?
You know, Carmine. Damn, they got you like that, Carmine.
I mean, the lawyers, I bet Tallarico's lawyers, they must have sent him like a picture of him sleeping like in his own bedroom.
They're like, you know, we took this shit, right? Or like an AI rendering of him living.
Yeah, that is an enthusiastic disavowal of something that you were saying with your whole chest out.
Yeah, AI rendering of him living in a storm drain.
And he's like, this is you if you don't apologize right goddamn now.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back. And we're back. And it's fall, which means the air is colder. The leaves are changing color, and you might be killed by a giant inflatable pumpkin.
Oh, God.
Not by me.
No, nothing is happening out here.
It's 82 today.
There's like two days. There are two days. That was fall. Don't worry. It was like a day and a half, actually.
Our neck break weather in LA, we're going to have like, it's going to be 90 on Friday, and then rainy on Tuesday.
Yeah, yeah.
Great. I love it.
But yeah, an inflatable pumpkin the size of a house somehow got loose from a North Carolina farm hosting its annual pumpkin fest and started rolling down the street. Someone managed to stop it before it did any damage, but the footage was fucking awesome.
Dude, this thing is fucking huge. Yeah.
I've seen videos where people think like a big bouncy ball is something you can fucking stand in front of and then get.
Absolutely fucking leveled. Sent in the other direction. Like it's kickoff at the beginning of a football game.
Brave American.
Yeah, some brave American chased it down.
An Uber driver. Look, the best among us. Where's the fucking cops? You know? The cops would have loved to fucking shoot this thing.
Oh, yeah. They would have still somehow missed.
Stop resisting!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And fucking just shot up a bunch of, like, fucking pumpkins in the background.
Yeah, this is.
Every shot somehow misses, like, the scene in Pulp Fiction where they're just like, how?
Wait.
I was standing, like, five feet away from this thing.
Check out people please secure your inflatables secure your inflatables i saw like how many times do we have to say this oh man i saw a little bounce house going down uh the street the other day like not too bad you know it was windy a couple days ago and it was just it wasn't like a disastrous thing it was just it was just leaving a yard with like and people were like oh shit and they like you know nobody in it i'm hoping There was, like, a kid in it, but there were 30 adults who reacted, like, who were, like, literally just anchoring it down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was one of those things where I was like.
God, what? We can't just have shit down on fives.
I've been at children's birthday parties where the bounce house is treated as, like, well, the bounce house. They're in the bounce house, so we at least know where they are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
And that always ends in disaster. There's always a kid coming out of there crying. There's something... evil that happens to children.
Oh yeah yeah because you're.
Like in full lord of the flies 100 because you're in a like a padded room so suddenly being shoved to the ground isn't like a potential injury yeah or shoving someone and i think it's funny it's like i think everyone has those moments there was like there was definitely a meme that i shared like with one of my pieces of media of like when you fuck up your younger cousin in a bounce house, and you went way too rough with them, and they start crying.
Like, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up. No, no, no, no, no. My fucking dad, grandpa, and your dad's going to fucking kill me. Shut the fuck up, please.
Push me, dude, fucking push me, push me, man, make it fair Push me, fucking push me, dude That is the move Eye for an eye, dude, if you fucking push me then, bro And I'm.
Not recognizing that in myself I'm recognizing that in my older cousin He's like, Jack, push me Push me, push me, hit me, hit me Oh, man, you hit me so hard, damn.
And then you start laughing a little bit Like, okay, do it again, do it again, see, good Oh, man, see See how good that felt?
Oh, my God, please don't tell Uncle Jim, please.
Yeah, they were scared of my dad.
Dad! All right, let's talk Kim Guilfoyle.
Kim Guilty AF Foyle.
Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah, new name just dropped in my mind right now because I'm bored.
Yes, yes.
This was a big piece of news that the Zachariah Zachariah.
Oh you know also The White House is still They still don't know what the fuck to say about her Her legal career They just keep putting out vague things And they're like she did it when she was in China With her husband And then she was like I practiced transactional law With all the proper Creditations.
So she went to law school and then like read a couple contracts It seems.
Like Yeah, and I think a lot of people were saying, like, maybe she thinks just because she has the JD that she thinks she's a big, tough law person.
But, in fact, she is not.
In fact, she was not.
Never was. So, Kim Guilfoyle.
The Wall Street Journal has some more details on her final moments before she was.
We did hear she was asked to resign in the press conference.
Yes.
So, like, there was definitely a buildup because over the weekend, too, people were being asked.
Trump was like, I don't like it. I don't like the story, basically. Rubio was humiliated.
Right.
Yeah, we talked.
About this last week, but she was on wax just being like, hey, no, you can't do this.
We're trying to cover it up.
We're trying to do a quid pro quo for my credit card bill.
We're trying to do money crimes here.
Would you stop?
Like, literally, she's like, stop leaving a paper trail.
Yeah, exactly. I wish you would, please. I wish you would stop papering everything.
And then the guy like CC'd her podcast producer with the dumb agreement.
Anyway, so.
Apparently, her main defense against the allegations of her really sordid signal chats doing prid quo quos that was leaked, she said, she told President Trump, she said, it was all faked with AI, Mr.
President. It was all fake.
Not to mention, we're already hearing other stories about how she was trying to shake down some Greek people for $ 250, 000. Also, it's like, this is, look, I have a feeling that you saw what the family does. And you tried to do your own version, but you don't have the same clout. So when you start fucking around like this shit will just come by.
Yes.
Yeah.
You are not the president.
An astronaut coming back down to Earth and not really being able to operate under the laws of our harsh gravity. It's like she was part of the Trump. you know, part of the Trump family for a little bit. And then she got back down and she's like, wait, why isn't this just magically disappear?
Oh yeah.
No, no, no, no.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Your, your last name is still geek wheel file.
Yeah.
Yeah. No, that's not Trump at all. Um, and not only that, there is this little tidbit, which is very interesting. Um, it says, Earlier this month, this is according to the Daily Mail. Earlier this month, she asked the State Department whether she could get an article in the Daily Mail removed from the internet. The article suggested she didn't pay a 1,586 euro tab for two cases of champagne and dinner.
State Department officials asked if she could provide a receipt for the bill showing she paid, but she didn't provide one.
Wow.
So, yeah.
Yeah. The State Department was out on her. They're like, yeah, no, that's great. We'd love to have it removed. Could you just show us the receipt where you paid for it?
Ah, hold on.
She just starts padding her pockets You're wearing a skirt.
Ah, shit.
I forgot for fucking. I fucking left it at the champagne dinner place. They probably have it.
Why do we think the no? Oh, that that was a defense has not been employed more and worked more.
I think there's just too many people that can corroborate.
You know what I mean?
Like Eric Dieters clearly has the text too.
He's out here saying he's about to sue her for defamation. This guy is so pissed with this whole, everything going wrong in his life that I think Kim Guilfoyle is going to be the person that he's going to take it out on in court. I think also too, it's just like, it's one of those things where it'd be one thing if you were doing something so out there that it didn't seem like you, that you might be like, Oh, was that AI?
Too in character.
Yeah.
Right.
But like, obviously if you see me, you know, freaking Laura Loomer at the club, that's not AI.
You know what I mean?
It is a devastating accusation. I was raving about that video of that Quebec quad boy and a super producer Catherine was like, think that's AI and immediately deflate.
I was like, God damn it.
I'm a fucking idiot. I'm a fucking idiot.
This is the raccoons on the trampoline.
All over again.
There's gotta be like, I don't know enough Shakespeare, but there's gotta be like a guy who was losing his mind. Was that Hamlet or Macbeth or one of them? It was just like, it's nothing real. This little boy with a voice of gold. But to her credit, it did look like when they use AI to up res.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was just too perfect. It was, it did turn.
Out that it was a real video, but yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's just like, it works on an inter same thing with that. Um, That photo of Messi and the Spanish, the best player on the Spain team, right ahead of the World Cup final. Like somebody was like, oh, dude, you believe that? No, that's AI. That photo of them being together. And I was like, there's no way for like 15 seconds. You're just like, oh, yeah, fuck. I'm an idiot.
Damn, I fell for it.
It's a devastating thing to do to somebody for 15 seconds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It is a fucked up way to just kind of lightly gaslight someone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's probably how it's being used in another fucked up way is just be like, dude, that's AI.
Yeah.
I mean, it is a really annoying part of AI is that we just don't know what's real anymore. So it like takes a little bit of a sheen off all media at this point.
Yeah, that's why I'm like, nah, bro, come to me in person. I gotta see with my eyes.
But I watched that scene from the Ben Affleck movie where the kid goes flying, like, at the bottom of the hill, and I was like, I actually don't know if that was a real stunner, if it was AI.
I remember, I knew, okay, this makes sense, because last night, I think listeners should know this, you texted me around, like, nine at night, and you said, just hug your kids a little bit tighter tonight.
Yeah.
And I'm guessing it's because you were so shook by that scene.
Shook by that scene, man.
Could you imagine? Could you imagine?
Could you imagine? This is crazy. Look at this.
And then someone was like, I think that's AI. I was like, fell to my knees.
Hey.
Is nothing real anymore? I'll tell you something. These feelings ain't AI. I'll tell you that.
And finally, Zeron is making the NYPD angry by asking for a review of a 2024 killing of a young man.
Who had a mental health crisis.
Yeah.
It's like, it's coming on the heels of a lot of things, right?
There was this, this guy that was killed by the police in 2024 before he took office. Then there was the ice shooting that happened recently. And the cops were just fucking batting up people who were just fucking being.
Like, what the fuck is going on?
Yeah. And you know, typical police, uh, being overly violent with people in the community. Um, so yeah, This is now like the first use of force review that has happened in over 10 years. And so the officer involved with that killing skated on a loophole, which is another like why they're looking at this. This is quote last week, an officer facing disciplinary charges for Rosario's death was allowed to retire with a disability pension, avoiding a trial on misconduct charges brought by the civilian complaint review board. The NYPD said a civilian employee should have notified the police oversight board so the officer's retirement could have been paused until a trial. Mamdani said the review will take place
over the coming months and include a robust community engagement process, he said. When the government uses force against a New Yorker, the standard for accountability must be at its highest. The administration is rolling out a package of reforms, including implementing a new notification system to ensure disciplinary processes are completed before an officer retires. The NYPD will standardize how it shares information with families and the public following critical incidents. So, yeah, rather than just, like, just brushing them.
To the, okay, cut it right down, take.
Your money, shh.
Yeah, that all seems pretty reasonable to me. I was ready to hear, based on what I'm hearing from my friends at the NYPD Union Police Union. At the Benevolent Association. They told me they were benevolent, so I assumed they were cool. Benevolent police. From what I heard, he was going to war with them. What aspect of that is going to war?
I mean, I think, again, you know, Zoran has had the.
From people to the left of him for a number of things. And I think a lot of the things too, people have to realize is like, he's running New York City, not like a small fiefdom where he can just like run roughshod over whatever's happening. I get how he's doing things incrementally, but I also get the frustration of people wanting more intense changes.
He can do better in certain decisions, but.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is the shit he's dealing with.
But I think you also have to see him as a transitional type of politician. You need these kinds of people to get to the real red meat part of it.
So, yeah.
The Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said, quote, we have brought several examples of the CCRB.
This is the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
This is where non-cops take a look at shit. Several examples of their dysfunction and anti-police bias to the attention of the mayor and his team.
We've seen zero meaningful action in those areas. Oh, no. Right. So what's happened exactly?
What's the injury here that people are being held to account for their fucking actions?
People are complaining. That's annoying to us.
The mayor's radical base wants a wholesale dismantling of the NYPD, and it's clear this announcement is an attempt to appease them.
It won't work, and it won't.
Make New Yorkers any safer. Actually, the crime rate has been going down, measurably. So I'm not sure if you fuckwits want to take credit for that or what. Then another, Scott Monroe from the Detectives Union said, Mayor Mamdani would rather empower and fund agencies like the biased anti-police CCRB, the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
Again, just a Civilian Complaint Review Board, where you review the civilian complaints.
Yeah.
And defund and dismantle vital units across the NYPD instead of being a leader who supports the men and women in blue who keep our city safe.
Those are the only two options.
You can either blindly and wholeheartedly support anything the police do or you're going to war with them.
Or you're dismantling the entire concept of law enforcement.
There's no, yeah, good luck, asshole.
If somebody is robbing you, good luck because we can't do anything now because there's a civilian review board.
Come on, mayor. It's back to blue no matter who we kill. Right. That's kind of the deal.
And also, complaining that an independent civilian review board that, like, rightly calls out your transgressions as fucking bias is rich, considering most of the time when cops are doing any kind of internal investigation review.
They're doing it themselves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're like, ah, he's a good guy.
That's the extent of the... Yeah, he's actually my cousin's friend. He's all right.
He's a good guy. He's a good kid. He's a good kid.
All right.
Those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, October 14th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourself. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye.
